Thanks to the discovery that I could throw YouTube onto my TV and the subsequent exploration of its myriad contents, I was able to uncover this little seen gem from the pre-code era. Unusual opening credits are followed by a mind boggling multi image montage, the speed of which is the clue to just how fast this little film is going to move. Thanks to Busby Berkeley we are soon into our first stunning dance sequence full of kaleidoscopic upskirt shots and fabulous movement. The varied and various cast are introduced and whilst the girls are lovely and the rogues worrying it is the miserable and violent seedy nightclub host that attracts our most attention. Boris Karloff, no less, plays 'Happy' who grudgingly permits people entrance but is happiest using either his fist or his gun. Good all the way through, this short feature has a delirious climax that makes you want to watch it all over again.
